Copy documents from Microsoft SharePoint (Experimental feature)

If your organization also uses Microsoft SharePoint Server for document management and/or document repository and your organization has set up WorkZone integration from Microsoft SharePoint, you can copy one or more documents from SharePoint into WorkZone.

When documents are copied from Sharepoint to WorkZone, the documents are not deleted from Sharepoint or marked in any way to indicate they are now also stored in WorkZone. The documents will effectively exist in two document management systems: Microsoft SharePoint and WorkZone and can be edited in both systems independently of each other. Apart from copying documents to WorkZone, there is no other integration between Microsoft Sharepoint and WorkZone

If you want to only have the SharePoint documents managed in WorkZone, you must manually remove the documents from SharePoint or edit the document titles/names in SharePoint to indicate that the documents in question no longer are considered active in SharePoint.

It is not possible to copy documents from WorkZone to Microsoft SharePoint.

Meta data in WorkZone

Document meta data is not transferred from SharePoint to WorkZone and must be added to the copied documents in WorkZone Client after the documents have been copied. Copying documents from SharePoint will circumvent any fields (standard or custom) that have been defined as mandatory but once the document meta data needs to be saved in WorkZone, all mandatory field requirements will be respected.

The only document meta data that will be created when copying documents from sharepoint to WorkZone is the document title and the Document Type field, which will automatically be assigned the DOK, document value.

Note: The copy integration from Microsoft SharePoint is an experimental feature for this release.
